More by Harvey Jacobs

An octet of stories from the genius of humorous, fantastical, surreal stories.

But Wait #1 and #3 are free ebooks! Free! Yes, free, blatantly to get you hooked on Harvey's work. :) But Wait #2 has 8 more stories, which cost just a little bit, which, deliberately being in the middle of two free collections to tickle your OCD need for completeness to get you to spring for, you'll be glad you did. :)
